Rise of Australia

Chapter 164 The State of the Labor Party

Fortunately, the House of Lords is still very strict in reviewing applications for the establishment of political parties, and basically failed to pass these parties that are mostly fun.

Before the election of the Australian cabinet government, a total of seven legal political parties had been established in Australia, including the Australian Labor Party, the oldest of the Australian political parties.

Yes, even the Australian Labor Party, which has already been established, must go through the review of the House of Lords and confirm that it is legal before it can recruit members openly.

Although such a review system has promoted the flourishing of Australian political parties, it has actually greatly restricted the real rights of political parties, allowing the Australian government, especially Arthur, to truly hold political parties in their own hands.

The current political parties in Australia are the Australian Labor Party, the National Party, the Democratic Party, the Liberal Party, the Independence Party, the Endeavor Party and the Country Party.

Among them, there are four parties joined by members of the House of Commons, namely the Australian Labor Party, which has a total of [-] members of the House of Commons, accounting for less than [-]% of the total seats in the House of Commons.

The Australian National Party is slightly ahead of the Labor Party, with a total of [-] members of the House of Commons joining, accounting for [-]% of the total seats in the House of Commons.

The Independence Party has [-] members of the House of Commons, accounting for less than [-] percent of the total seats in the House of Commons.

Occupying the largest number of seats in the House of Commons is the Countryside Party, whose name is not prominent.

Because the country party mainly represents the low-income people represented by the rural population, which is why the country party is popular in Australia.

At present, there are still many low-income people in Australia, which is what Arthur and the Australian government are striving for.

The Country Party has a total of 23 members of the House of Commons, based on 12.00% of the members of the House of Commons.

Judging from the current situation, one-third of the members of the House of Commons have joined the party, and this proportion is still increasing.

This is also something that can be expected.After all, a party is a coalition of a group of politicians, and in many respects it has many advantages over fighting alone.

As parties have legal status in Australia, it is foreseeable that most of the members of the House of Commons will join various parties in the future, forming partisan disputes among Australian politics.

The formation of parties is inevitable, not to mention that major European countries already have various parties, and these parties have even gained considerable political advantages.

Needless to say, France is a republic. The power of parties and capitalists is unimaginable, and they can even manipulate and promote a country.

Even in a monarchy like the British Empire, the power of the party is huge. A party that has an advantage in the election can form a government, but in the UK with a constitutional monarchy, the monarch does not have full prestige. The power of the government Greater than the power of the monarch.

Now Europe is the brightest pearl in the world, and various systems and systems in Europe will be brought to the world by Europeans.

For Europeans, who are swept by the tide of liberalism and democracy, they are more acceptable to a more democratic system than a monarchy.

If Australia does not recognize the legality of political parties and does not grant certain political rights to political parties, it will inevitably make Europeans feel that Australia has a certain color of despotism.

In order to strengthen Australia's immigration attractiveness, the legitimacy of political parties is also inevitable.

However, Australia is different from European countries. The core of Australia's autocratic monarchy has been fully established, and it is becoming stronger and stronger relying on military power and Arthur's prestige among the people.

At least during Arthur's reign, no domestic force could overthrow Arthur's rule in Australia. This is the strength of a monarch who has military power and popular support.

Australia's political parties may gain a majority of seats in the House of Commons, and may even rely on the majority of seats in the House of Commons to allow some members to gain the possibility of going to the cabinet.

The peculiarity of the Australian system is that every position in the cabinet government, including the prime minister, is subject to elections rather than being appointed by the person who holds the post of prime minister.

Although doing so will reduce the tacit understanding and unity of the cabinet government, it is completely unnecessary for an authoritarian country.

This also determines that it is very difficult for a political party to completely control or even control most of the cabinet seats. Unless it has very suitable and capable candidates for each position, otherwise it will completely control the basics of the cabinet government like other countries' political parties. impossible.

This also means that Australia's political parties will not gain great power, even in the cabinet government, there will be competitors.

This is also Arthur's means of checks and balances, transforming the possible contradiction between the government and the royal power into a contradiction between political parties.

If political parties want to gain greater advantages in the government and elections, they must rely on the stable royal power in Australia.

Arthur, who represents the royal power, can hide behind the scenes and remove himself from the power struggle, but he can also firmly control the political parties in the power vortex.

For more than two months, the news of the establishment of various political parties and the news of members of the House of Commons joining a certain political party have been continuously published in the Australian Daily and the Victoria, the two most important newspapers in Australia, which can also reflect the current stage. The sudden surge of Australian political parties.

As the oldest party in Australia, the Australian Labor Party has not had a big advantage in the two-month battle for membership, and it is even the smallest of the four parties that currently have a member of the House of Commons.

In fact, this is no wonder the Australian Labor Party. The goal of the Labor Party at the beginning was to promote the union among the six colonies of Australia, at least establish a unified federal government to strengthen exchanges between the colonies, and also to safeguard the interests of trade unions.

But with the establishment of a united principality of Australia, this goal of the Australian Labor Party was automatically accomplished.

Coupled with the fact that the Principality of Australia does not recognize the legitimacy of political parties, and that both Duke Arthur of Australia and the Australian government are well recognized by Australians, this also makes Australians less enthusiastic about joining political parties.

The Australian Labor Party changed its platform during this time to Advocating the Interests of the Australian Worker, United Unions and Workers.

But unexpectedly, the new Australian principality and government also attached great importance to the interests of workers. Under the premise of industrial development, the interests of workers were also well protected, which seemed so superfluous to the Australian Labor Party.

If it were a chaotic country with large numbers of workers insecure, perhaps the Australian Labor Party would be popular.

However, the order of the new Principality of Australia is very stable. It has invested a lot of money to build major development projects such as industry, education, medical care, people's livelihood, economy, technology, etc., and fully protects the interests of Australians participating in these projects.

The interests of Australian workers have been well protected, and the ten-hour work system has been resolutely implemented. For workers, this is already a fantasy paradise.

In addition to the fact that the current salary is not too high, the current treatment of Australian workers has surpassed that of European workers.

Under such a premise, Australian workers are naturally not too enthusiastic about political parties. They are more keen on working hard and earning more wages to support their families.

Even the two programs and goals were achieved by the Australian government, and the Australian Labor Party lost its goal for a while.

This was originally the largest political party in Australia in history, but now it is at a loss.

If it weren't for some members of the House of Commons who have higher political dreams, they are optimistic about the name of the Labor Party, the earliest party established in Australia, I am afraid that the popularity of the Labor Party in Australia will be even lower.
